Milano Cimiano Tutti

Ciao tutti!

I am now in the promised land....aka Milano Cimiano. Seriously this is
miracle land...sacred ground. I entered and my companion Sorella Avila
informed me that we had five investigators with baptismal dates!!
What? Ok all of you reading this who serve in the states or in South
America might think....ain't that normal? Ok for Italy it is quite a
blessing! Huge in fact!

So it's been crazy busy since I got here. Meeting everyone.

So there is Laura that is a referral from Salt Lake City! She has
friends who moved to the states. She is so ready for baptism. Her date
is the 20th! She has such great faith!

Then there is the Jaramillo family!!! They are South American.
Richard, Julia, and Alessandro their son who is eight. The spirit was
super strong when we taught about the priesthood! They are looking
forward to all of this and also have a bap date for the 20th.

Another great blessing is coming back to find that Sorella Boscia's
cousin was baptized and is going to this ward but that her husband
still isn't baptized. Giuseppe is so great! He has great faith and
progress I told him I am here for him because we started the lessons
with them a year ago when I was here! They feel like family and feed
us like any Sicilian would.

I'm grateful for the gospel. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is
blessing lives before my eyes. I see people following the gospel and
being changed. I know that if we put the Lord first that the rest will
be taken care of. I've seen that as people live the commandments and
repent. They receive happiness they didn't even know existed. I love
being a servant of the Lord. It's such a blessing that has helped me
and I hope will help my future family.


3 Nephi 13:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all
these things shall be added unto you.


Have a good week!!!
Happy Valentine's Day from Italy! Single and ready to mingle....okay
only about Jesus Christ though.

Ciao!
